About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from The Memoirs of Joseph Fouche, Vol. 2 of 2: Duke of Otranto, Minister of the General Police of France By turns powerful, dreaded or disgraced, I sought for authority I own, but I detested oppression. What services have I t rendered? What tears have I t dried? Dare, if you can, to deny it, ye whose good opinion I succeeded in gaining, twithstanding the dreadful events that had passed! Did I t become your protector? Did I t guard you against your own resentments, and the impetuous passions of the chief of the state? I confess that there never was a more absolute police than that whose sceptre I held; but did you t admit that there never was one more protecting under a military government; more adverse to violence; more gentle in the means with which it penetrated into the secret recesses of domestic life, and whose action was less obxiously obvious? Did you t say, then, that the Duke of Otranto was, beyond a doubt, the ablest and the most moderate of all Napoleon's ministers? You hold a different language - for this sole reason: that times have changed. You form your opinion of the past by the present! I do t judge it so. I have committed errors I own; but the good I have done must be taken in the account. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
